Phil,
I've had the same problem from RH8-FC1 with a few NICS. Same thing, fine net install, but the nic isn't there on reboot. On your next boot, just drop to a terminal and (as root)
check for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
if it's not there, then:
netconfig eth0
set to dhcp, save, and restart networking (service network restart) and reboot to check to see if that worked.

she's crashing her car in an intersection
she did not see the light
she's walking round and round in a shopping mall
as if she had no sight
dreams are only clouds that form and dissipate
the sky is a highway for metal birds
and land is real estate
she does not understand
her world depends upon a history of lies
she walks right by all her old high school friends
for she has dollar signs in her eyes
- the dead milkmen, "dollar signs in her eyes"
